The DATAFID project is part of the French government strategy to improve the mobilisation of domestic public resources (MRIP) in developing countries (2020-2023). As part of the French Strategic Investment Plan for Development (PISD), the French Treasury (DGTrésor) is financing the project, and Expertise France is implementing it.
The project involves several partners including FERDI through the Institut des Hautes Etudes du Développement Durable. The aim of the project is to create a complete and adapted range of training courses to support the IT strategy of senior managers, to develop the capacities of specialists in data analysis, and to raise awareness among middle managers on the use of data for a better mobilization of domestic revenues and border management.
This project focuses on the IT development of customs administrations. It has an intra- and inter-ministerial component and the content of the training courses includes the cross-cutting issues of tax revenue and border management. The training will be open to tax and custom administrations. The originality of this project is the creation of a regional training offer by taking advantage of new digital and distance learning practices.
A first working session will be organised with the beneficiary countries of the project during the week beginning Monday 11 October 2021 in Clermont Ferrand, followed by the launch of the DATAFID project by Expertise France in Paris on Friday 15 October 2021.
From 11 to 13 October, FERDI-IHEDD is organising a meeting in Clermont Ferrand with the representatives of the tax and customs administrations of Côte d'Ivoire, Niger, Togo and Mauritania. The objective is to build with the beneficiary countries the frame of the modules of the first two training courses, which are "The identification and evaluation of tax expenditures" and "The use of the R software for tax and customs data science".
